MaryJoe is a mild mannered semi-feral who was taken in on an emergency basis from a person we had previously helped with TNR. He contacted Trinka asking for help, reporting that MaryJoe had a serious mouth injury and that he had no money for proper vet care.

Mary Joe was diagnosed by PAH with a non-displacement jaw fracture. She also had additional general facial trauma, most notably to her right eye. PAH recommended rest and a canned food diet for 3 months in the belief that the jaw fracture would heal on it's own, which it has done. Her eye is also now completely fine, other than a small amount of chronic drainage, most likely from damage to the tear duct.

MaryJoe is a sweet cat who is definitely shy but may end up being occasionally pettable. It appears that her most reasonable placement will be as a barn cat.

All cats are vaccinated, dewormed, tested and altered as part of the adoption contract. This basic care (and other vet work required to make our rescues healthy) is included in the $85 adoption donation!
